OUR MAN ON THE OUTSIDE.
CHIPS FROM A HATCHETT.

For the week ending Saturday, the 18th,
owing to the windy, unfavorable, weather,
like all other markets, our tobacco receipts
were comparatively light. Prices in all
colory grades, especially in wrappers and
fancy cutters, are we'll sustained, while we
note less animation in mediums without de-
tecting positive decline For the poor
nondescript grades, as elsewhere, there are
no purchasers except at prices far below
cost of production. Of this latter class,
the great majority of the crop now in farm
ers' hands consist, the better grades having
commanded good prices all along have
been principally disposed of, and our pre-.
dicton that the quality of our breaks would
be more inferior after the first of April, as
evidenced by what has been here during the
past ten days, is now more Of patent fact
than prediction.
Some of our people who have been out of
business, now have their hands constantly
employed. The itch has come to town, and
being no respecter of persons, the rich and
poor alike can enjoy the inestimable privi-
lege of gently drawing the end of the digits
over their smarting hide as often as they
may feel inclined. 1t is not epidemic like
measles or small poX-it is not even con-
tagious in the proper acceptatiou of the word,
but it is contactiOus, which makes it unsafe
to hold your girls hand when you have it..
We don't want to brighten anybody, and if
you will keep your distance" you need
have no fear of catching it.
We attended court at Warrenton on Tues
day. There was large crowd, as is usual
on the second day of the court. If there
had been nobody else, there were enough
drummers, horse drovers, warehousemen
and newspaper men to make up quite a
crowd. If the people there can survive the
Hardy Battle being waged on Tuesday,
they need have no fear of small pox, yell
low fever or other deadly diseases. There
was so much newspaper talk, we lacked
Cheek to enter the arena, letting the merit
of our paper speak for itself; in fact we
hadn't committed our columns to memory
we have something new every week, and it
would be too much trouble.
Judge Ship presides over the court,
which it is thought will not consume all of
the week, as the docket is quite short
one, with no cases of any great interest to
be tried.
We are under obligation for courtesies
extended by Capt. Shell, of the Warrenton
railroad, DIR. Geo. A. FOote aud others.
Warrenton is one of the Oldest and pref
test towns in the State, and could we catch
the inspiration of Smollet, Macauley.
or Scott, we should like to search among
the relics of her glorious past, and weave
history to be read and enjoyed by future
generations of her citizens.
Col. L. G. Edwards of Oxford, and Capt.
Chas. Cook of Louisburg, are attending
court.

WHOSE THE BLAME.

Between the International Commerce
bill, the Supreme Court, and the acts Of
State Legislature, things generally have
gotten in most woefu1 condition. con-
dition detrimental alike to the State, and
to private individuals. A State must raise
revenue in some way. 1t is unfair. bad
policy, and impracticable to put the GER
tain tax necessary upon the farming inter-
est, yet under the decision of the highest
court, we must either do that or tax our
home manufacturer to such an extent he
cannot compete with the man of another
/, State, who is now enabled to come to his
very door and sell, when and what he
pleases, license free. We repeat this state
of things affects materially almost every
class of business, the newspaper men be-
ing included. The Legislature of North
Carolina, imbued with touch of that pu-
ritanical wisdom Matched ON the barren
rocks Of Plymouth, have made it unlawful
for any newspaper in the State to advertise
any lottery scheme. If they had also
passed an act prohibiting the circulation in
our limits of papers published in other
States containing such advertisements,
there might have been a semblance of sense
in it; but to take the bread out of our mouth
to give it to border papers in other States is
the very essence of folly and injustice, and
can only be accounted for upon the n.y.
pothesis, the poker players in our Legisla
tive Halls wanted chance at the large
amount Of cash sent out of the State month
ly for lottery tickets. We don't mean to
uphold the lottery, for we have ever con-
sidered it the most perncious species of
gambling. but foreign papers with their ad
vertisements are allowed to circulate here
freely, and as long as this is the case, we
should have chance to get baek-by legiti-
mate services, small portion of the thous-
ands our people are swindled out of. Hence
we say either the Congress, the Supreme
Court, or the Legislature, has made an I'M
considerable ass of itself.

The worst feature of Bragg's retire
ment from the vice-commandery of the
old Iron Brigade, every man of whom he
loves, is that they wounded their old
general at the behests of the politicians
on the anniversary Of the battle of South
Mountain where they won their proud
title under his leadership. The circum-
stances were related to the writer by
member of that brigade who took part in
that fight.
The confederate army was being fol-
lowed up. 1t was flushed with success
after the campaign with Pope. 1t was
necessary to clear a road occupied by the
Confederates and the Brigade was chosen
for the dangerous duty. 1t proceeded
rible fire, which won for it universal adj
miration. In its progress it struck a
stone wall behind which the rebels were
entrenched. Bragg with the 9th and It'll
regiments on the right of the road push
ed on and pouring an entilading fire upon
the Confederates, dislodged them. Still
he kept moving up the hill, his grim
purpose gallantly sustained by the brave
men he led. His ammunition gave out
and a contribution was levied upon the
cartridge boxes of the dead. He was be-
yond relief but to message asking how
long he could hold the position, he re-
turned the answer: las long as L have
bayonet left" Through the night the
two regiments were so close to the rebels
that their conversation could be heard.
But there was no thought of retiring.
though the bayonet was the only weapon
they could use to repel an attack. Bragg
kept giving orders to pass these cart
ridges down the line" knowing the rebels
would hear the orders and not suspect
the destitute condition for ammunition
the little band was IN. Through the
night the rebels left and IN the morning
when Summers corps came up the noun
tam. so great was Its respect for the men
who entered the jaws of death deliber-
ately and coolly. that they were saluted
by presenting arms.
While giving these facts, and then
speaking of the treatment Bragg received
through the machination of Harshaw and
Cheek, it seemed natural that the voice
of this soldier who had taken part in
this movement, should grow husky with
emotion, as it did. But these deeds are

THE platform adopted by the American
party at its convention in Philadelphia
on Saturday last, launches this party
upon the sea of politics. 1t demands
free compulsory education in all the
states and territories, reasserts freedom
of religious worship and belief and pro-
nounces in favor of labor organizations
which pursue their purpose by lawful
and peaceable means. 1t demands four
teen years residence as a requisite for
full citizenship and exclusion from citi-
zenship of communists, socialists, anar-
chists, paupers and criminals. On the
land question it asks that American lands
be reserved for American citizens, and
that nonresident aliens be debarred from
ownership of real estate but is opposed
to interference with vested rights.
The party is largely made up of labor
ers and foreign born citizens. 1t has
nothing in common with the old know
nothing party as the American party is
not opposed to any religion nor to for
eigners. 1t simply demands longer
period of residence than is now required
for full citizenship.

The best social consequences will re-
suit from an agitation of the schemes
advocated by the United Labor party.
Surely no harm can result from arousing
the public mind on such subjects as
schooling for children to their sixteenth
year; the establishment of free public
libraries; public control of such agencies
as are in their nature monopolies; pos
tai telegraph system, postal savings
banks and public ownership of railroads"
Georges exposition of his land theory
does not SAVIOR of anything like lunge
for any body's passions or prejudices-
1t takes some little healthy mental exer-
else to comprehend it, and still more to
show up its unsoundness. But what is
of most consequence the consideration of
such questions is a-going to wake up the
people to a realization of the systems of
taxation, state and national, which they
endure The denominations of the war
tariff Will then be seen in clear light by
the masses, and the United Labor party
will recognize its true ally.

THE FAIR.

The fair next week promises to be the
most successful of the many held in this
county. The horsemen from abroad have
been attracted by the liberal purses Of
fered and the races will be by all odds
the most interesting of any fair yet held
in this county. To show what may be
expected In this line the following entries
are given:
Fred Pape, Sheboygan, has engaged
stalls for three horses. j. b. Cory &
Son of Appleton send Black Cloud, Jr.
and Jim Golden. Seymour sends horse
with record of 2:35 while Oconto comes
down with three flyers. Quirin Hessel
OF Escanaba will be on hand with his
trotter which won first money at Green
Bay. Wausau and Stevens Point this
year and took purse of SLIGO at the
state fair. DR.. Sibree of Sturgeon Bay
will be on hand with his fast mare. In
addition to those mentioned twelve 9th
ers have signified a purpose to be present.
Considerable money has been expended
on the track and other improvements
this year. Everything is in first class
shape and the exhibits promise to be I'M
usually large and varied
The following business men will have
a display of their goods of Exhibition
Hall: Schuette Bros, o. Torrison & Co,
H. Esch, Becker & Teitgen, J. Wallsch-
lager, e. Krummheuer, g. w. Fechter,
Lehmkuhl Il Dicke. The number will
probably be increased before Monday.
Rahr Bros, will exhibit in one pen 80
of their graded Holsteins. They are not
entered for any premium, but simply
placed on exhibition. Seed dealers will
probably make an exhibit and the display
of agricultural products will do full JUS
tice to the resources of the county,
Manufacturers and dealers in agricul-
tural implements will do as well as, if not
better than, heretofore and thus add a
pleasing and valuable feature to the fair.

A NEW DEPARTMENT.

Messrs. 0. Torrison & Co. have decided
to go into the merchant tailoring business
in connection with their other trade, and
for this purpose have fitted up suitable
apartments on the upper floor of their
store. The new department will be IN
der the supervision of Mr.. J. G. Filholm,
long known as one of the best and most
conscientious tailors in the city. He will
be assisted by a large force of experien-
ced workmen and the firm is therefore in
condition to fill orders for custom tailor
ing with promptness and IL a satisfactory
manner. The immense stock of cloth and
trimmings which has for years been a
prominent feature of the business of O.
Torrison & Co., will of course be available.
Any one in need of clothing of any quail
ity can depend upon being promptly
served and with the most fashionable
goods made up in the latest styles under
the supervision of a gentleman whose
name is synonymous with honesty and
capabiiity. A special feature of the new
branch of business will be the making of
fine dress suits.

ed upon a novel plan of giving away

father to invoke his memory to aid in
political plots. Every step he takes is
guided by his own Independent action

of the name he inherits. There must be

THERE has been a decided change of
tactics on the part of the aristocratic
press of the country toward the United
Labor party since the Syracuse conven-
ton. The action of that convention has
forced the leading papers to respectful
recognition of the Labor party. Their
former cry of holy horror is out of date.
In barring its doors against socialists and
denouncing socialism and in declaring
that it proposed ito disturb no just right
of property" it has silenced its calumni-
ators. But its proceedings We're fruitful
of much more positive results.
In summarily and contemptuously re-
jecting any utilization with set of tramps
who styled themselves the Union Labor
party, and who no doubt were the tools
of some designing demagogues, the Unit
ed Labor party shows that its mission is
not an unholy one. Its wariness and
earnestness promise long lease of life
or at least decided influence upon the
old parties. 1t is not to be side-tracked
as was the Butler fasco. The New York
Tribune does not seem to be aware of this
and has been patting the new movement
patronizingly on the back preparatory,
no doubt, to further advances. u seems
to have forgotten Henry Georges DELHI
crate statement in the North American
Review only few months since that ''the
republican party is dead" The best ele-
ments of the Labor party ran the conven-
ton and Henry George, notwithstanding
his sincere protest against it, was fitting
ly nominated for the chief place on the
ticket. A platform was adopted that was
more pointed and related to matters of
more vital Importance to the people of
the country, and that advocated meas
ures more in accordance with the latest
results of political science than that of
any other state convention in the last
quarter of a century.
